As soon as he stepped inside, he could feel a noble aura.
The interior was decorated with noble materials. Even gold, the most precious in the secular world, was only used for decoration here.
Very quickly, a servant dressed in a black robe quickly walked up to Su Chen.
When he saw Su Chen’s clothes, a warm smile appeared on his face.
A core disciple of the Great Mystery Sect!
It meant this was an honored guest.
“Sir, are you just browsing around?”
The servant asked with a smile.
Su Chen shook his head and casually threw out a piece of paper. He said indifferently, “Can you gather the items listed here?”
The servant hurriedly took the paper and carefully scanned through it. After that, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate.
He was not mistaken. This core disciple of the Great Mystery Sect was indeed a big spender!
The list contained all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, cultivation methods, and weapons… It had everything imaginable.
These things were enough for one to form a medium-sized force in Tianyang City.
“Sir, please take a seat first. I’ll go and gather these items for you now.”
The servant had an idea and brought Su Chen to the guest room. He took the initiative to pull out a chair and poured a cup of spiritual tea.
“Hmm.”
Su Chen nodded lightly as he sat on the wooden chair and leisurely drank his spiritual tea while waiting for the servant.
At this moment, a commotion could be heard from the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
“I have told you many times! Hand over the spirit stones or leave!”
A guard of the Treasure Pavilion stood in front of a young girl with a cold expression.
From this, it was evident that the guards of the Treasure Pavilion possessed high moral standards.
Although his tone was stern, he did not resort to violence.
If it were any other small merchant association, the guards would have already roughed her up.
“I have! 1 have spirit stones! Please, please let me in. I only want one stalk of spiritual herb!”
The girl looked quite young, about fifteen or sixteen.
He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her white dress was also tattered, but she did not care about the strange gazes cast her way. She stood at the entrance pleading with the guards.
As she spoke, she opened a ragged cloth bag and handed it to the guard, begging, “Here… this bag is full of spirit stones. Please, let me in!”
The guard at the door glanced at the spirit stones in the bag and shook his head.
“Five low-grade spirit stones… It’s not enough. If 1 were you, 1 would definitely not take out spirit stones in public like this…”
People in the cultivation world were filled with hidden motives. For someone like her without any power to reveal that she had spirit stones was not a good thing for her.
After all, Tianyang City wasn’t sect territory.
Although there was the Su family holding sway here, it was still a mixed bag of people and influences.
Even though this girl looked pitiful, those who killed for treasures didn’t care.
The day she left the city would be the day she met her end!
“I only have this much left. Please sell me a stalk of spirit herb! My mother really needs this spiritual herb!”
The young girl pleaded as she rushed inside.
However, before she could take two steps, she was held back by the guard.
“Our Treasure Pavilion has its own rules. There is nothing we can do to help in this matter…”
The guard was expressionless and said coldly.
“I… Is it really not possible to make an exception?”
The girl begged again.
However, the guard at the door stood rooted to the ground like a door god, unaffected by her pleas.
At the same time, the servant walked over with a storage ring.
“Sir, all the items are here. They are worth a total of loo high-grade spirit stones. Do you need anything else?”
Su Chen didn’t answer. He took the storage ring and carefully checked the items inside and then nodded in satisfaction.
Putting away the storage ring, he looked at the girl at the door and pondered for a moment before saying, “How about this? Go and help me get another stalk of the spiritual herb she wants. I’ll pay for these things together with the spiritual herb.”
“Huh?”
The servant was taken aback.
Then, with a strange expression, he looked at the girl at the door and said in a low voice, “Pardon me for asking, are you trying to help that girl?”
Su Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, “Just do as you are told.”
Hearing this, the servant withdrew his gaze and hurriedly turned around to fetch the spiritual herb.
In less than a minute, the servant boy appeared again, holding a light blue spiritual herb in his hand.
Su Chen glanced at the quality of the spiritual herb and paid the spirit stones. He looked at the girl who was still begging at the door with a contemplative look.
After a long time, he beckoned the servant who had greeted him earlier and said, “You, come here.”
“Do you have any other instructions?”
Seeing this, the servant hurriedly ran up with a smile on his face and respectfully asked.
Su Chen handed the spiritual herb to the servant and pointed at the girl at the door. “Go and give this spiritual herb to her.”
“Sir, this is…”
For a moment, the servant boy did not react and froze in place.
“Are you going or not?”
Su Chen’s voice deepened.
“All… My apologies, sir. I’ll go right away.”
Hearing this, the servant hurriedly grabbed the spiritual herb and reassured Su Chen. Then, he turned around and ran out of the Treasure Pavilion.
Outside the door, the servant handed the spiritual herb to the girl and said, “This is the spiritual herb you want. Quickly put it away and don’t let anyone see it.”
When the girl heard this, she suddenly raised her head. The dust on her petite face was unable to hide her bewilderment. The despair in her eyes changed into a glimmer of hope as she stammered in disbelief.
“This…”
The servant stole a glance at Su Chen, who was in the Treasure Pavilion. He grabbed her hand and placed the spiritual herb in her hand, pointing at Su Chen.
“This is a gift from that young master.”
The young girl clutched the spiritual herb tightly and looked at Su Chen.
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled and nodded at her.
The girl at the door finally reacted. She rushed into the door and ran toward Su Chen, seemingly about to trip over herself in her haste.
This time, the guard at the door did not stop her.
The servant boy also retreated to the side, giving the girl enough space.
The girl came to Su Chen and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
“Many thanks for the gracious gift of this spiritual herb, Zimo is willing to toil like a cow or horse in this lifetime, to repay the kindness you’ve shown today!”
“Uh… Toil like a cow or a horse…”
Su Chen touched his nose awkwardly.
He really wanted to ask if she was kidding by saying toiling like a cow or a horse.
However, after looking at the young girl, he finally swallowed this question.
Judging by her reaction, there was no need to ask. She meant it!
Su Chen sized up the girl and realized that her aptitude was not very good.
Perhaps she could learn martial arts for self-defense, but if she wanted to cultivate… that would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
She would probably live an ordinary life and end up as a handful of dirt in a few decades.
Giving her the spiritual herb today was merely an act of kindness from Su Chen..
